Musolino was reputed to have turned outlaw when he was falsely accused of attempted murder in 1897. False testimony was brought forward against him and he was sent to prison in Gerace. In 1899, he escaped from jail, and for the next three years conducted his own brigand version of justice. Wikipedia
